The SEC Championship game resulted in a bittersweet victory for Alabama fans.
Although it punched its ticket to the College Football Playoff with the 52-46 win, the Crimson Tide lost one of its most important pieces for the rest of the season. Late in the fourth quarter, starting center Landon Dickerson went down with a knee injury after a DeVonta Smith touchdown.
Dickerson had to be carted off of the field and following the game head coach Nick Saban mentioned that the injury was likely pretty serious. And after a bit of confirmation during Saban’s teleconference on Sunday, Dickerson will not be able to suit up with his teammates again.
